Alina, she’s teaching people to drive in an automatic car, in Doncaster

An exceptional driving instructor who combines warmth, humour, and just the right amount of assertiveness to keep you focused and progressing.

She has a natural ability to support anxious learners, helping them step out their comfort zones while building confidence and maintaining a strong sense of safety throughout each lesson.

Outside of teaching, she enjoys spending time in nature and travelling, which reflects her positive and open-minded approach.

For anyone seeking a skilled and supportive automatic driving instructor, she is an excellent choice.

Hi, I’m Mitchell, a driving instructor with DS Driving School, proudly helping learners across Doncaster, Barnsley and parts of Rotherham gain the skills and confidence they need to become safe, independent drivers.

For me, learning to drive should be enjoyable, not intimidating.

I became a driving instructor because I genuinely wanted to make a difference. Learning to drive is a huge investment, both financially and emotionally, and I believe every learner deserves a high standard of tuition, patience and support throughout their journey. My goal has always been to provide an experience that learners remember for all the right reasons.

One of the things I enjoy most about this job is meeting people from all walks of life. Every learner brings their own personality, experiences and culture, and I love building relationships with people from different backgrounds. No two learners are the same, and that’s exactly how I approach my lessons.

If you asked my learners to describe me, they’d probably say I’m calming, caring and patient.

I don’t believe in teaching everyone from the same script or following a rigid lesson plan. Every lesson is tailored to you. Some days you’ll be full of confidence and ready to push yourself. Other days, life gets in the way, and that’s okay too. Whether you’ve had a stressful week, struggle with anxiety, or simply need to take things at your own pace, we’ll adapt the lesson to suit you. My focus is always on helping you leave each lesson feeling more confident than when you arrived.

Supporting nervous learners is something I’m particularly passionate about. With qualifications in Cognitive Behaviour Therapy from The Academy of Applied Psychology, along with qualifications in Mental Health Awareness and Understanding Mental Health in the Workplace, I understand that confidence plays just as important a role as vehicle control. I aim to create a calm, supportive environment where mistakes are viewed as opportunities to learn rather than something to fear.

Away from work, I’m a proud dad to two wonderful children—a son and a young daughter. My family is my biggest motivation, and they’ve taught me the importance of kindness, patience and treating people with respect. Those are the same values I bring into every driving lesson.

Whether you’re getting behind the wheel for the very first time, returning after a break, or you’re a nervous learner looking for someone who truly understands your concerns, I’d love to help you achieve your goal.

Learning to drive isn’t just about passing your test. It’s about gaining the confidence, independence and life skills that stay with you long after you’ve earned your licence. My commitment is to help you become a safe, confident driver for life, while making every lesson enjoyable, supportive and tailored to you. I look forward to being part of your journey.
